Amazing liveaboard experience
I had an incredible liveaboard experience on Pawara. The diving was world-class, the food was consistently delicious, and the staff were wonderfully kind and attentive. Our dive guide Pong made sure that we had incredible dives and helped us spot some of the rarer species around the dive sites. Highly recommended for anyone looking for comfort and adventure combined.

Consistently positive and recommendable
Overall, extremely friendly and helpful crew. The Guids respond to wishes and put a lot of effort into the underwater search for what you want to see.The highlight of the diving was Richelieu Rock, which we found to be the nicer dive site compared to Similan Island.

Super nice liveaboard trip
We had a great dive safari on board the Pawara. Richelieu Rock was the absolute highlight of the trip, but the other dive sites were also nice. We especially liked the calm and relaxed circumstances of the dive (generally not too much current, good visibility, 29 degrees water, easy entry and exit). Dive guide Mici was knowledgeable and friendly. She was willing to send people low on air up early so that the rest of us could stay down a little longer. Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. They even brought Christmas hats for everyone to wear during Christmas dinner, that included an amazing turkey! Good to know: if you’re over 1.75m, you can not stand up straight in the budget room. Beds were long enough and there was a lot of storage space. Overall a great experience!

Amazing time on Pawara
Great time all around. The food was amazing, the crew as well. The dive sites were beautiful and our guide Mickey was full of energy and love for the ocean. The vibes on the boat were great, loads of fun A big shout-out to the Thai crew who made our life so easy, even reminding us to drink water before a dive and waiting with hot towels after sunset/night dives.

Diving with Pawara and you’ll be happy.
We had a standardcabin quite next to the engine room, which made it a bit noisy. A person who had problems with falling asleep might need to consider this while choosing the best cabin for itself. - the food was amazing, I tried and eat something of everything. As someone who usually goes through a quite disciplined diet - no chance for skipping something. - the divesites were nice and we had some good luck on what we saw - the boat staff in general was super nice, friendly, and helpful - super big plus - micky, the diveoperator and a dive guide I want to give special credit: his humour, awareness , detailed explanation of divesites and positive energy, willing to help every diver in every experience class really was (as a client) just awesome. He defined the nice vibe the whole trip had. Thanks @ the whole boat-team and guides for a wonderful experience! 5/5 recommendation for choosing Pawara
